Earlier this summer, I was thinking of starting a "things I've found on the roadside" thread. Maybe I already have.
I live on a mountain pass with a bunch of turns and inclines to knock anything loose out of a pickup. I've found more bolts this summer than needed
to build an ark. I've found entire tool kits. Pocket knives, pliers, etc. The bike I rode today was left roadside. Ladders. Socket sets. Farrier stands?
You wouldn't believe it. For the bike, I did post a pic at the road entrance for several weeks, and the farrier stand. No response on either. In the next week, I'll post pics of that "bike" in the ultimate bike thread. I rode it to wineries today. A sexy hoity toity thing that has no business being left in a ditch!
Frankly- I lost a bag out my friend's pickup in college, and a bike tire. The bag had a jacket and some nice stuff.
Driving back to college the next semester, I noticed the tire on the side of the interstate.... No bag evident. It wasn't a good place to stop, so I kept going.
Driving back to college the NEXT semester, I noticed the tire still there, stopped the car, got my tire, and put it on my bike, and got many miles out of it.
My bike tire stood on the interstate for a YEAR!
There is an element of "easy come/ easy go"
